Metabolic transformation of mevalonic Acid by an enzyme system from peas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
En enzyme system has been found in peas which converts mevalonic acid to isoprenoid compounds. Among the intermediates in such conversion are mevalonic acid-5-phosphate and pyrophosphate, isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallylpyrophosphate. Among the products formed by the system are the pyrophosphates of geraniol, farnesol, nerolidol and higher isoprenoid alcohols.

Intermediates in the conversion of mevalonic acid to squalene by a rat liver enzyme system.
Since the discovery (3) isolation (4) and characterization (5) of mevalonic acid (3-methyl-3,5-dihydroxy valeric acid), a succession of reports has appeared on the incorporation of this substance into a great variety of isoprenoid compounds. These range from the mono(6) and sesquiterpenes (7, 8) through the tri(916), tetra(17-20), and poly(21) terpenes. In yeast mevalonic acid serves as the pre...

متن کاملProduction of Recombinant Proline Dehydrogenase Enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens pf-5 in E. coli System
Proline dehydrogenase (ProDH; 1.5.99.8) belongs to superfamily of amino acid dehydrogenase, which plays a significant role in the metabolic pathway from proline to glutamate. The goal of this research was gene cloning and characterization of ProDH enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens pf-5 strain. The gene encoding ProDH was isolated by means of PCR amplification and cloned in an IPTG inducible T...
متن کاملCorrelations of Growth Rate and De-etiolation with Rate of Ent-Kaurene Biosynthesis in Pea (Pisum sativum L.).
Biosynthesis of the gibberellin precursor ent-kaurene-(14)C from mevalonic acid-2-(14)C was assayed in cell-free extracts of shoot tips of etiolated and light-grown Alaska (normal) and Progress No. 9 (dwarf) peas (Pisum sativum L.). During ontogeny of light-grown Alaska peas, kaurene-synthesizing activity increased from an undectectable level in 3-day-old epicotyls to a maximum in shoot tips of...
متن کاملThe biosynthesis of mevalonic acid from 1-C14-acetate by a rat liver enzyme system.
Although it has been conclusively demonstrated in numerous reports that acetate and mevalonic acid are converted to squalene or sterols (3-lo), it has not been proved that mevalonic acid is formed from acetate by a mammalian enzyme system. Evidence has been presented, however, for the formation of this compound from P-hydroxy, P-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A in the presence of reduced triphosphopy...
